Mosaic Monday: Summertime

Oh boy, summer is finally coming to New Jersey. As I type this on Sunday night, Monday's temperatures are predicted to be around 96 degrees, and super muggy. Those cool, rainy days are starting to look really good right about now. :)

Summer, to me, means wildflowers in the meadows around our home -- queen anne's lace and goldenrod and wild black-eyed susans. It means going to the farm stand for local corn and Jersey tomatoes (the best in the world, I'll have you know!) and stopping to say "hi" to the chickens. It means long rambles under the hot sun, and pretty cottage gardens filled with flowers.

Yes, life in summer is just a bowl full of cherries. ;)

Now let's have some mosaic fun! Here are the instructions:

That's all there is to it! It's always a good idea to then check and see if your link is working. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: mrcarroll(at)optonline.net. I can't wait to see your mosaics! Here is Mr. Linky:

You're absolutely one of the best photographers I've ever seen, Mary! I finally figured out how to do this. Had to create a Flickr account, as the mosaic I was trying to make on Picasa just didn't do it for me somehow. Thanks for your wonderful instructions. Otherwise, I probably still would be clueless!Brenda

I just wanted to come in a say how beautiful your blog is. I have no idea how to create a mosaic, so until I learn, this group is off limits to me. I am trying so we shall see. Your photos are eyecandy for sure, Char

Very pretty!!Now,I am off to see if I can find that photo of your kitchen, the wall with the plate rack...I have a dream for a small wall in my kit. that I want a plate rack built into a small wall unit..

I am always looking for a good tomato but being in western Canada I guess I won't be tasting your Jerseys. :-( I do have a lot of the same flowers in my gardens. Even that bug looks a little familiar. Thanks for hosting. I posted mosaics last night but totally forgot about the meme until I read it somewhere else. Ooops.

I have missed visiting you! Been ill but now on the mend! I still have not learned how on earth you do those mosiacs..and I know you told us how..(of course I lost the instructions) I am still trying to get the larger pictures...but would lose my background. :(Your colors in this mosiac are just gorgeous! It's nice to be back and experiences such photography again!

Hi Mary....who cares about the heat coming to Jersey bring on that corn and those tomatoes...They are the best in the world...I was just up and brought a bunch home in my luggage...they are still green when I picked them from Granpa's garden but slowly ripening....I can't wait to taste them...Daughter is going this friday to the thrift store opening so if you see someone with an adorable little toddler with a big head of curly hair say hi......Sue in Atlanta.
